Currently (2025) the maximum allowable contribution is $23,500. Participants over the age of 50 can contribute an additional $7,500. If you are within three years of your normal retirement age, you may qualify to contribute more than the regular maximum under the Program's 3-year Catch-Up Provision.
You may keep your contributions in the Plan and continue to build savings for retirement. However, you may withdraw your contributions if you: Have a Plan account balance of less than $5,000, exclusive of any assets you may have in a rollover account, AND. Have not contributed to the Plan in the last two years, AND.

Distribution of earnings from the Roth 457 and 401(k) Plan before age 59½ or for a period shorter than five taxable years are subject to all applicable income taxes (Roth 401(k) distribution is also subject to penalties).
If you withdraw funds from a 401(k) before age 59½, you could be subject to a 10% penalty tax and lose some tax advantages. There are exceptions (see below). Between ages 73 and 75, depending on your birth year, you must start taking distributions from your 401(k).

State workers and some local government employees can save for retirement through the New York State Deferred Compensation Plan (NYSDCP). The NYSDCP offers traditional pre-tax and Roth 457(b) accounts.
The Plan differs from other defined contribution retirement plans (like a 401(k) or 403(b)), because it is designed and managed with public employees in mind. The New York State Deferred Compensation Board establishes and administers the Plan policies.
